okay so I really need the money to pay off bills to save my credit big time! My brother who lives away from home has a roommate/gf to pay his bills etc and so on but he just had his phone turned off so he has no direct bills at the time. He has poor credit and there is very little chance it will improve. I have good credit that is borderline all in all I have never had an issue with my phone or bills until now because I have been unemployed since November. My brother has not been employed since the start of 2008 I believe.

My godmother God bless her, she gave me money in an envelope to give to him (I planned to visit him) and out of curiosity and desperation, I opened it just to see what was in it. There is over $500 in it. In the past years she has stopped giving us money due to finance issues, my parents dont give me any money and I have absolutely no way of getting my bills paid currently. I just wish I had the money because then I could pay off all my bills and I am getting a tax refund check soon. I could give my brother the money at a later date, I know it sounds shady but I need this money more than him. The money would not change his debts or poor credit whereas for me it would improve my credit. He would be reimbursed as soon as my refund check comes in which is well over the borrowed amount!
I would never ask my godmother for money not directly anyway because her husband is very sick and she barely can afford his care!

So is it wrong if I take the money that she has given to me to give him to pay my bills then just give him the money from my refund check once I get it which would be in a couple of weeks?? Its not like I would take the entire amount just enough to cover my bills for this month and last month. I know I was wrong to open the envelope but its not like I stole his money, he is very aware that there is money for him. Oddly enough, I have been trying to call him he wont answer my calls and when he talks to me it will be for a split minute thats it. He even was like he doesnt think I should come over when his roommies are there. He just does things that make him unworthy of getting the money to me. He doesnt really deserve it. He never calls our family or anything so idk thats just my two cents. I always give him the benefit of the doubt and this is one time I fully feel justified in using the money for my bills. Its not like he would never get the $500 because he would as soon as my check comes which may be sometime next week.
Maybe if I explain the full situation to my brother he would understand. Then it would not be wrong the reason I dont want to give him a choice is of course he wouldnt do that for me! Of course if it was the other way around I would actually do it for him! Thats the diff between us...please help me...he didnt even want to meet up with me or anything until I mentioned money...
